6.1 restore db procedure

I'm trying to restore a tsm 6.1database and I must be missing a step. Thought I'd throw this out there before I call IBM. Here's what I've been able to glean from the manual.
1 install OS (windows 2003 x64) disable UAC - reboot
2 install TSM
3 reboot and log back in with db2user1 account created during tsm install
4 run dsmicfgx and create a new tsm instance
5 stop the windows services for the tsm instance and db2 instance
6 open the db2 command line processor and quit to a command prompt
7 db2idrop server1
8 remove all files from the d:\tsm\db, log, etc directories (and the d:\server1 directory??)
9 restore the volhist, dsmserv.opt, devconfig.out files to d:\tsm\server1
10 create a text file dbdir.txt with database paths "d:\tsm\db"
11 from the server1 directory run "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\server\dsmserv" restore db on=dbdir.txt

I'll gladly RTFM if someone would point me to TFM. I found the information on the "on=dbdir.txt" parameter in the docs for moving the database. Running dsmicfgx is just a guess. It seems to get farther along...

BTW The webcast mentions a database upgrade guide several times. Anybody know where to find it? Thanks for any help.
